    This episode was kind of sickening, even though it did have one genuine laugh (the caller's unironic "I've got nothing against these people!"). It's probably too much to expect from an American based podcast to consider that there are countries other than the USA, and that things happened even in America prior to the last couple of decades, but it would be heartening if people who consider themselves progressive (is that an unfounded assumption on my part?) were able to look a little bit beyond their own experiences.

    by any chance are you listening to "I was there too", at sister site Wolfpop?

     

    They did a show with Stephen Tobolowshy, it's so worth your time. He talks about this magic moment and others and I wanted to make sure you and other listeners are not missing out, you could just about download all of those shows and blind listen to them. If you like how did this get made this is the show that really does tell you how it got made for one guy anyway.

    +1 for this. IWTT is a great podcast, but that particular episode is one of the best.

    Her full name is Sarah Ruth Alexander, but there's a British actress (who I recognize from the fantastic Green Wing) named Sarah Alexander, so I guess she goes by "Sarah Ruth" to avoid confusion. She seems to be largely absent from social media, although her record label is Pour le Corps and you can check out her music on their Soundcloud channel.

     

    Sarah Ruth's "Words on the Wind" album can be found here: https://pourlecorpsr...mp.com/releases or on iTunes/Spotify/etc.

     

    Thank you both!

    They can be crazy, and crazy doesn't necessarily mean bad.

    Agreed. Although most of the films covered might be considered 'bad', talking about films that have some other reason for making us ask 'how the hell did this get made' has been part of the show since at least as far back as episode 20 (Punisher: War Zone).

    He was the prototypical closeted homophobe too.....he kept reiterating "I don't care what people do with their own sexuality...blah blah blah". When Tig kept adding her "and women" bit, he just had to restate his stance...like that stance is something to wear as a badge of honor. Reminds me of when people want to take credit for not being a cheater or asshole. YA THAT IS THE NORM, GOOD FOR YOU.

    It makes perfect sense, though, when you look into what he's selling. So he's not homophobic in the usual way - he just can't get his head around a situation in which a (gay) male PUA will be victimising another man, or where a (lesbian) woman would exploit another woman; and, of course, there's no room in his philosophy for. a situation where a woman would victimise a man.

    I said that it was probably bad in context, and that I didn't listen to the episode, or agree with pick up stuff. I just feel like there's nothing wrong with that statement in a vacuum, and your post made it seem like that sentence was your breaking point.

    I think that we can agree that a statement like that made in the context of both a podcast interview, and this guy's whole shtick, is the polar opposite of something existing "in a vacuum". That statement was as good a last straw as any, because there's no doubt what was behind him saying it, at that time.
